I did notice torbrowser was in the directory format that is friendly with PortableApps format applications, so props on that.<br><br>Interesting take, taking what <a href="http://portabletor.sf.net">Portable Tor</a> has done and bringing it to an all inclusive bundle.<br>

are coordinating your efforts with the good folks at <a href="http://portableapps.com" target="_blank">portableapps.com</a>, who<br>have already assembled a significant collection of portable applications<br>suitable for burning onto CDs or flash drives, including Firefox,<br>
OpenOffice.org, and many associated packages (extensions, utilities, etc.)<br>They even have a sort of "super bundle" called PortableApps Suite that<br>contains ClamWin, Firefox, Gaim, OpenOffice.org, Sudoku, Sunbird, and<br>
Thunderbird. There is a "lite" version of the suite that substitutes<br>AbiWord for OpenOffice.org, and a "base" version whose OpenOffice.org is<br>a stripped-down version. Check all this stuff out at<br>
